My two turtles seem to have a slight dip right behind their head. I can remember one having the dip since the week I got her. Is this a shell defect or diet thing?

Hmmm I'm not sure. The rest of the shell looks beautifully grown on both if them. They still look incredible. I wouldn't have noticed the dip until you has pointed it out
I don't think I would be overly concerned. Are they getting plenty of protein?
Yes, a lot of protein. Mixture of meal, earth, blood worms. Crickets, and plenty of veggies and fruit.
Give it a little more time to grow and it will smooth out, from what I seen with hatching babies.

Thank you all for the feedback. Bonus picture of my trio.
